Old Firm duo head Webster chase

Celtic and Rangers, as well as two German clubs, are considering bids for Hearts defender Andy Webster, BBC Scotland understands.

Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Moenchengladbach have been alerted to Webster's situation by the former Scotland manager Berti Vogts.

Webster has handed his notice in at Tynecastle and could leave for as little as £200,000 as of 1 July.

The Old Firm, though, are likely to have to pay more if they want him.

Clubs outside Scotland could land the player for such a figure - the exact amount being set by the Disputes Resolution Chamber in Switzerland - under article 17 of the Fifa regulations, which allows players under 28 who have served three years of a four-year deal to hand in their notice.

But that does not apply to interested Scottish clubs, with the end of June marking the deadline by which Rangers or Celtic would have to make a bid.
